HOUSTON -- Former Oklahoma State quarterback Bobby Reid said Friday he will transfer to Texas Southern for his final season rather than remain eligible for the NFL draft.
Reid, who decided to leave the Cowboys after a junior season in which he was benched after two games, made the decision hours after the NCAA granted him a waiver to transfer to a Championship Subdivision school.
Reid's decision was first reported by KRIV-TV in Houston.
"I think this is the best route to take," Reid told the news station.
Reid entered last season seemingly entrenched as OSU's starter, having held the job since midway through his freshman season. But he was injured Sept. 8 against Florida Atlantic, opening the door for Zac Robinson, who started OSU's last 11 games.
Texas Southern went 0-11 last season.
